A pioneering systematic inquiry into-and mapping of-the field of
media and organization Media organize things into patterns and
relations. As intermediaries among people and between people and
worlds, media shape sociotechnical orders. At the same time, media
are organized: while they condition different organizational forms
and processes, they, too, are formed and can be re-formed. This
intimate relation of media and organizing is timeless. Yet
arguably, digital media technologies repose the question of
organization-and thus of power and domination, control and
surveillance, disruption and emancipation. Bringing together
leading media thinkers and organization theorists, this book
interrogates organization as an effect and condition of media. How
can we understand the recursive relation between media and
organization? How can we think, explore, critique, and perhaps
alter the organizational bodies and scripts that shape contemporary
life? Organize will be of interest to scholars and students of new
and old media, social organization, and technology. Moreover, the
dialogical form of these essays provides a concise and
path-breaking view on the recursive relation between technological
media and social organization. The book therefore establishes and
maps "media and organization" as a highly relevant field of
inquiry, appealing to those with a critical interest in the
technological conditioning of the social.
